I still do not understand.  Why not use a single port number for each
function?  Why is there a need to dynamically assign a port?

The port assigned to a ServerSocket is only tied up while it is
establishing a connection.  Multiple clients can connect to it and
establish connections, and those connections can be open at the
same time.  If two clients try to connect at exactly the same time, 
one of them will be queued up for a very short period of time until 
the other client establishes its connection.
